Ads Library MCP Server

No. The Ads Library MCP server is InsightfulPipe's own tool for researching public ad libraries, and InsightfulPipe is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft or TikTok. Meta's own ads MCP server includes an Ad Library search tool for Meta ads; InsightfulPipe covers Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft and TikTok libraries in one server without an ad account.

Any AI client that supports remote MCP servers. The setup guide on this page covers Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Codex. You can also run the same searches from the terminal with the InsightfulPipe CLI.

Yes. In Claude, add https://ads-libraries.insightfulmcp.com/ as a custom connector, click Connect, sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked, and click Authorize access. You can also add InsightfulPipe from the Claude Directory, which connects all of your linked accounts and tools at once.

Yes. In ChatGPT on the web, open Plugins, choose Add, then Add custom MCP server, and paste the server URL. Or install InsightfulPipe from ChatGPT Plugins to connect all of your linked accounts and tools. In a Business or Enterprise workspace, an admin decides who can add custom MCP servers.

Five: the Meta (Facebook) Ad Library, the LinkedIn Ad Library, the Google Ads Transparency Center, the Microsoft Ads Library and the TikTok Ad Library, plus TikTok Creative Center Top Ads. You can search ads and advertisers, list a company's ads and read details for individual ads.

No. The server searches public ad libraries, so you do not need to connect a Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft or TikTok account.

It returns what each public library publishes, such as ad creatives, text, advertiser details and dates. The TikTok Ad Library adds reach ranges, and TikTok Creative Center Top Ads adds likes, a CTR rank and a low, medium or high budget level. Ad libraries do not publish spend figures, clicks or conversions, so the server cannot provide them.

No. All 17 actions are read-only searches and lookups.

The server is read-only and only reads public ad libraries. Owners, admins and operators can use it by default, and restricted team members can use it only if they are granted access. Each request counts toward your workspace's monthly allowance.

Yes. There is nothing to connect per competitor, so your assistant can search as many advertisers as you like and compare them in one conversation, within your monthly allowance.

There is no third-party account or API key. Your AI client signs in to the MCP server with your InsightfulPipe account and receives an InsightfulPipe access token, and searches run on InsightfulPipe's service.

Coverage depends on what each platform publishes in its library, and country filters for the Microsoft Ads Library are limited to EU and EEA countries, and the TikTok Ad Library covers only ads shown in the EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland and Turkey. Results come in pages, so large advertisers may need several requests, and every request counts toward a monthly allowance that depends on your plan.

The Ads Library MCP server is included in every InsightfulPipe plan, together with all other MCP servers and the CLI. Plans start at $29.99/month and include a trial. See insightfulpipe.com/pricing for current plans.
